Pediatric Gastroenterology

Our pediatric gastroenterologists are specially trained to treat and diagnose gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and nutritional disorders in newborns to eighteen- year old children. The gastroenterologists utilize pediatric expertise to provide consultations, diagnosis, and medical management to children with gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders. The pediatric gastroenterologists at El Paso Children’s Hospital are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are board certified in Pediatrics and have trained in children’s hospitals across the country.

Children with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, flatulence, bloating, and diarrhea can benefit from hydrogen breath tests (HBT). HBT is a simple, safe, non-invasive test that can detect sugar intolerances, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The Hydrogen BreathTracker Test, at El Paso Children’s Hospital, is the only one in El Paso exclusively for children.
